How to Prepare, Eat and Enjoy MREs (Chapter 02)
Well, presuming you have read chapter one of How to Prepare, Eat and Enjoy MREs, you are ready to begin eating. Actually, if you are like me, you started eating the snacks and bread before your meal had time to fully heat, but either way you actually are in for a treat. Yes, once you pour your heated food pouches onto your plate or into your bowl and once you got over the less than haute presentation of the food, you take your spoon (provided in your MRE) and dig in.
Eating
The first thing you will notice is that, hey, this food is not all that bad, in fact, it can be actually quite tasty. With selections like beef ravioli, beef patty, beef stew, grilled chicken, cheese omelet, vegetarian cannelloni, and others, it will take some time before you get tired of any selection. These meals are designed for soldiers, so between the main course, side dishes, snacks, dessert and drink you should get enough to fill you up.
Okay, okay, perhaps the reason this food tastes so good is because you have been living off of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, canned tuna or chicken and a warmed over shoe would taste wonderful just now. You just have to remind yourself, that it's not just the food that is important, it's the company and here you are sharing a romantic meal beneath the moonlight (we won't mention that the moonlight is the only light you have). Yes the MRE has brought you and your lover together (get those kids to bed) and it is time to really enjoy your MRE.
